Got libsoba, Inochi2D's new UI toolkit running on #FreeBSD :)
I paint #Futhark miniatures that I hand off as mementos to people who publish papers with me.
The SIGPLAN Programming Languages Software Award goes to the original Rust team!!!!!
Anybody feel like playing ADVENTURE on an Four Phase IV/90 computer ?
A visitor to datamuseum.dk donated a ½" tape today:
I gave a talk about state actors attacking FOSS, ten years ago, on FOSSDEM:
This is, hands down, the most useless piece of FOSS I have ever released.
It preserves the unique Rational R1000/s400 computer and it's Rational Environment in software for future generations:

🦀 I'm so excited for RustNL 2024!
It'll be one of the biggest Rust events this year! 🎉
May 7 & 8 in my hometown, Delft!
See you there!
🤝 Connecting people, connecting regions.
🚆 New train service 🇮🇹 Rome – 🇩🇪 Munich and 🇮🇹 Milan – 🇩🇪 Munich, with a possible extension to Berlin;
🚆 New night train service 🇫🇷 Paris – 🇮🇹 Milan – 🇮🇹 Venice;
🚆 New train service 🇩🇪 Munich – 🇨🇭 Zurich.
We’re supporting these and 7 more pilot cross-border train connections across Europe!
🚉 More sustainable travel options for you soon.
I can finally reveal some research I've been involved with over the past year or so.
We (@redford, @mrtick and I) have reverse engineered the PLC code of NEWAG Impuls EMUs. These trains were locking up for arbitrary reasons after being serviced at third-party workshops. The manufacturer argued that this was because of malpractice by these workshops, and that they should be serviced by them instead of third parti
es.

What is this? This is a GPS receiver made by Trimble, one of the biggest GPS companies. Why is it shaped like an ambulance? Good question. This is a 6 channel GPS receiver from 1993, which was relatively early for consumer GPS tech. On the back is a Motorola 68HC000 and 64k of RAM. Look it even has a little red light on top. And a silk screened steering wheel.

so, @settinger designed and printed a comic sans typewriter ball so we're testing it on my IBM selectric this afternoon and it totally does work!
@koos Hi I recently read a post from your blog and ran into a bit odd issue. For some reason the use of overflow: auto
causes auto scrolling (middle mouse scrolling) to only be horizontally. This issue seems to only happen in Firefox as well as it works as intended in Chrome. Setting overflow to a specific value or splitting it up in overflow-x and y and then setting y to a specific value seems to resolve the issue.
I just thought I would let you know since it caused minor annoyances for me since I usually use that for scrolling.
Delft meetup complete! Proud of a tremendous #rust embedded line-up, wrapped up with a great Q&A by @djc with @Mara!
Thanks @diondokter , Sjors (Jitter), @jonathan and to everyone that joined and helped out.
Slides and (fingers crossed) recordings to follow.
